Hangzhou Holidays

Eventually, the wanderlust in me scaled beyond the walls of Nanjing and stepped further into nearby Shanghai (very cosmopolitan, with The Bundt as one of its main tourist attractions, the city sizzles day in day out), Hangzhou (instantly romantic, idyllic and beautiful with its legendary West Lake and other natural wonders), and Suzhou (a taste of old China, some of its parts still preserving architectures and garden settings of the past, capped by a boat ride along a riverbank that some say is comparable to traversing the famed canal in Vienna, back in Europe).
